Derby
DERBY L2

Roadster, 2-door saloon, cabriolet.

Front-wheel drive and pull-out power pack, as well as divided-axle transverse-leaf springing at both ends. Handling generally praised, but four-on-the-dash doesn't sound overly attractive. Engine's the magneto-ignition 35bhp Ruby from the K4 turned back to front. One or two British-market cars (1932/33) with longer chassis and 11/2-litre 4ED Meadows motor.
